How do you eat a plum?

1. Wash and inspect the plum: Rinse the plum under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Inspect the plum for blemishes or damage. Remove any stems or leaves.

2. Decide whether to peel the plum: Plums can be eaten with or without the skin. If you prefer, you can peel the plum using a paring knife or vegetable peeler. Start at the stem end and work your way down the plum, carefully removing the skin.

3. Cut the plum in half: Use a sharp knife to cut the plum in half lengthwise. This will expose the pit.

4. Remove the pit: Use your fingers or a small spoon to remove the pit from the plum. Be careful not to break the plum into pieces.

5. Eat the plum: You can eat the plum halves as they are, or you can use them in a variety of dishes, such as salads, desserts, or jams.
